Program searches

 StudioAbroad helps your students find the programs they are looking for with the help of a powerful search engine that will serve up a listing of programs based on criteria that they have selected.  Instead of flipping through dozens of brochures and catalogues, the students are provided a listing of the programs based on their qualifications and interests.

The programs can be searched based on city, country, region, or term.  Plus, they can also be searched based on any of the program parameters that are created by the administrator of the site.

Since the program searches that your students will use can be customized by your parameter choices, you have the ability to tailor your search page to the needs of the site visitors.  Do your students usually want to find programs that are specializing in business?  That's no problem since you can make it value for a program parameter.  Then, students can request a listing of just the programs that are marked as specializing in business courses.

Without StudioAbroad, a request like, "I'm a sophomore with a 3.5 GPA that wants to go to either China or Japan during the spring where they teach in English and offer computer science courses," sounds like an hour of research and frustration.  With StudioAbroad's program search engine, this request is answered in less than a minute.

All your parameters can be given a glossary entry that students can view.  If students frequently ask if "Language of Instruction" refers to the language used in the classroom or the language they will be taught, you can put a lengthy and concise explanation on the web site to answer the question with one click of the mouse.
